The first amendment is one thing, but I would not piss off an HOA.
A gentleman, who may or may not have a mental illness, posted a number of very offensive signs on his condominium balcony. His HOA asked him to remove said signage and then fined him to no effect. The City of Calabasas apparently got involved, and the hateful symbology has been removed… for now.
ABC7:
A man who is believed to be the long-time owner of the condo was seen last week yelling and cursing at people from his balcony. No threats were made, according to the sheriff’s department, but some neighbors say they feel unsafe and intimidated by the messages.
“I’m horrified, and I’m sad,” resident Sheri Polk said. “Sad that people feel this way about Jews, about African Americans.”
The city of Calabasas said the material was taken down Friday, the morning after a deadline was issued for the signs’ removal. The resident initially refused to remove the posters, according to Calabasas Mayor Alicia Weintraub.
